      I enabled VPN in Settings. Yet, no blue badge appears in the address bar. Is VPN still available in Opera beginning version 45?

          Same issue here. I live in Germany and use Opera 45 unter Windows 10.
          Opera VPN is connecting...and connecting...and connecting.

          The badge is always orange and no internet page is available while connecting.

          Any ideas what could cause that issue?

            I live in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA.

            I used to see the blue VPN badge when enabled. Now I only see a blank square that reads VPN. It never gets blue or orange.

            I assume now the VPN is active if I enable it in Settings — but I am not sure. I checked the IPs. Sometimes VPN hides my real IP, other times doesn’t.

            Thanks for your time.

              Nope, yours is a totally different issue. So please use another topic.

                Did you click on the icon to enable the VPN?

                  I click, double-click, right-click… Nothing happens. The little blank VPN button stays the same. Before version 45, when I clicked VPN it opened a settings box. Nothing happens now.

                  I took a screenshot. You can take a look at I (only 9 KB):

                    First it seemed to be a similar issue. After parpaluck gave more info it seems not to be the same after all.

                      Here is more info that hopefully helps you in getting to the bottom of the issue.

                      This screenshot shows the VPN enabled and other Privacy settings:

                        Now you were finally able to explain the problem correctly.
